Core i3 2100 ~ 5.5k
Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2-B3 ~ 3.5k
4GB Corsair DDR3 1333MHz ~ 1.9k

Total: 9.9k

If budget is slightly flexible and if you feel you need the SATA 6Gbps and the USB 3.0 ports then the MSI H67MA-E35 ~ 4.6k

You cant get Llano compatible H/W now and i wouldnt advise a new build on PII X4 with Bulldozer and Llano just around the corner.
Adding to that since you already have a decent GFX like the HD4850 i dont think the IGP of the Llano will perform better than that.
 
thanks

Yes my budget is flexible can go for additional 1k

isnt AMD has something which is almost equally good with lower pricing ??

also if i need to fit soundcard like Asus Xonar DX .....can i fit it in the above mentioned board
